The Baylor Bears are without two of their starters at cornerback from a season ago in Grayland Arnold and Harrison Hand. They are currently starting a sophomore in Raleigh Texada, who only played in two games a year ago and has played in five this season. Derrek Thomas, a converted wide receiver grad transfer from Temple, is starting opposite him.
At the safety spot, the Bears are going with a true freshman in Christian Morgan and senior Verkedric Vaughns. Outside of Vaughns, there is not much experience in this Baylor secondary. Additionally, the backups at these four positions consist of two true freshman, a junior and a sophomore who has only played in two games this season.
